I vote Duratracs since that is what I'm putting on my Tacoma. The old MTR's aren't great in the rain. I've got the non Kevlar ones now and it's horrible on the road in wet conditions. Hopefully the new Kevlar ones are better. I'd go MTR's if I wheeled it more than 10 times a year though.

those are my initial picks from one review. Might throw the General Grabbers on that list too, but I read they were heavy. I have the KM2s to the JK and like them, looking for similar performance or better for less $$$

Anyone need some xj tow hooks? I've got the hooks, brackets(freshly painted). No hardware.

$50, I'll be home for the weekend most likely.

I don't care much about the lowered stance but the motor mods are interesting.

Haven't tried them much off road. They pick up a lot of rocks and are not as good on the street as KM2's in my opinion. I haven't had them on rocks and they haven't been stuck.

Duratracs have thin side walls.

Not much exciting about them. Besides Kevlar.

Talk to Justin about MTZs. He loves his, so he has stated in the past.

I am not impressed by Damien's MTRs. Theyre really loud and don't seem to out perform any other big name tires. The sidewall is awesome though.

Grabbers are nice tires, but super heavy. Not too great in rocks for the one time i saw them on rocks. I think MTZs and KM2s are the best all around tires.
